Girls lacrosse: MKA names new head coach

The Montclair Kimberley Academy has named Nathaniel Green as its head varsity girls lacrosse coach for the 2014 season, the school said in a release.

Green, a former varsity lacrosse player at Wesleyan University, has also been the head coach at the Fay School (Mass.) and an assistant varsity coach at Avon Old Farms School (Conn.).

The new coach is in his first year as a teacher at MKA's Upper School, where he teaches history.

"Throughout his coaching career, Coach Green has done an outstanding job of working with young athletes to help them reach their potential both on and off the field," according to the school's statement. "His enthusiastic approach and knowledge of the sport, together with his rapport with our students, make him an ideal candidate for the head coaching position and we are excited that he has agreed to join the MKA coaching staff."

Green takes over for previous coach Fay Lonsinger, whose teams went 26-35 over three seasons.
